Femme Infernale
She will not stick with betrayal
Leaving him bereft and broke
A specter of his former self
His money gone, his heart a stone
No, she insists on devastation
Desiccated husks lie in her wake
No lover has retained his health,
His sanity or soul
She locks eyes tightly onto his
Sends his essence straight to hell
Abandoned with his booze and blues
And a "So long, Ace, I'm not your muse."

She's kind of a spiritual vampire, now that I think about it. Thanks for the eloquent comment. Raven!

Definitely... a powerful write !
A grown woman knows how to walk away if her emotional needs aren't met, a little girl toys with the notion of dependancy, because she knows no better.
One of the many 101 differences of a woman, and a silly girl that knows no self worth.
I guess... the muse aka woman that you depict in your scribbles knows her own self worth, and deep down, understands that life is too short to cry over spilt milk ~ 🎈😎🌷🌞
PS ~ sorry for sounding so cliche ! 🤓😜🤐

Doesn't sound cliché at all. This woman does know her own mind and doesn't suffer fools gladly (how's that for a cliché?). Thanks for a different and very valid perspective on these lines.

dearest Sir Crow sounds like a dangerous lady
one's who magic we can't help but succumb to
but whose price may be too high if it be our soul..
darkened ink..
wonderful..
love Crim

There's nothing more dangerous than a woman coming to power and realizing that she holds the world in her hands. Tight
